Testing cantharidin treatment for common warts
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether cantharidin—a liquid applied directly to common warts—can safely and effectively remove them. Common warts are bumpy growths caused by a virus that appear on hands, feet, and other body areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a medication called cantharidin for treating common warts. It is for people age 2 and older who are generally healthy and have at least one common wart on the body (but not on palms, soles, face, or genitals). Participants cannot use other wart treatments during the study.
This study follows people who completed an earlier cantharidin trial to see how safe and effective the medicine is over a longer time. You may join if you still have treatable warts or finished the earlier study.
This Phase 2 study tests giving a Candida antigen plus a bivalent HPV vaccine to help shrink or clear multiple common skin warts. It may help people with warts on different body areas, with different sizes or how long they’ve had them.
This study tests a new injection-based treatment for common warts (the bumpy growths on skin caused by a virus). Researchers want to see if this approach works better than current options and is safe for patients.
This trial tests whether applying heat combined with a common disinfectant (hydrogen peroxide) can safely and effectively remove viral skin warts. It may be an option if you have common, plantar, or genital warts and are between 16 and 65 years old.
This study tests whether an HPV vaccine can help shrink or clear cutaneous (skin) warts that have not responded to prior treatments. Participants get the study vaccine or a placebo to compare results and safety.
